Let's take a look at 5 players who went for relatively less than expected, and could be bargain signings:

1. Rachin Ravindra (Rs 4 cr - CSK)

Only 25, Ravindra has a huge up-side that CSK could reap the rewards of in the upcoming IPL cycle.

2. Glenn Maxwell (Rs 4.2 cr - PBKS)

Maxwell did not have the best IPL 2024, but if he regains form, few can be as destructive as him.

3. Washington Sundar (Rs 3.2 cr - GT)

Sundar is rising into an all-format regular for Team India, and could provide much-needed balance to GT.

4. Ashutosh Sharma (Rs 3.8 cr - DC)

Despite proving his capabilities as a finisher in IPL 2024, Ashutosh fetched a relatively low price.

5. Quinton de Kock (Rs 3.6 cr - KKR)

A man with three 500+ runs IPL seasons, de Kock was a bargain buy for KKR after spending on Venkatesh.
